The Power of SHAZAM! #28

Mary Marvel takes center stage on this 1997 cover, fists flying as she battles a swirling, liquid-metal entity that has engulfed a second figure — all set against a chaotic scene of hazardous-material barrels and an overturned vehicle bearing a radiation warning. The "Liquid Mettle!" banner perfectly captures the fluid, shape-shifting threat coiling around the action, rendered with real kinetic energy by Jerry Ordway's cover pencils and inks. It's a striking visual promise for "Trouble Squared," one of the livelier covers in this mid-run stretch of DC's Power of Shazam!
